How many times do I complain? And how many times have I begun post, but quit halfway through because I felt like it wasn't what I needed to write...Maybe for once I'll finish a post.
It's easy to complain and easy to feel that I have been treated unfairly. I'm good, far too good at both of those. Selfish? Prideful? Yep, I am probably the queen of both (sadly). As much as I've tried to fight pride and selfishness, it has a grip on me that I can't shake. But I must continue to fight both with the help of the Savior.
So instead of writing about the past year or what my New Year resolution is, I have decided to write about how God has blessed me the past year. I hope that when looking at the ways He has blessed me, it will glorify Him and not me. Nothing is worth anything without Him, it is simply empty.
The truth is, this past year has been full of many ups and downs, many tears and many smiles. And regardless of whether I felt His arm around me or not, He was there. Early in the year, God decided it was time to take my Grandparents Home (to heaven). Through that, He gave me a passion to make sure my last living Grandparent was saved and opened the door for me to visit with her about it. One of the biggest blessings was that God provided the money for me to return to TMC, twice! And He has given me some of my best friends at school, which have been such an encouragment to me. He has met every need I have had. And He has given me a smile on some of the worst days. Maybe it's time I dive into His arms and love Him completely... <3
